Work travel is not so great sometimes as it takes you away from your family and friends for sometimes extended periods of time. And it is not as glamorous as it may seem...most of the time you spend less than 24 hours in a city and every city looks the same because you only see the inside of a hotel and meeting room. But sometimes the opportunity arises to mix work travel and fun travel. I was able to participate again in our European conference as a speaker and this time the whole family went along for the ride. We extended the trip to a full 2 weeks and tacked on 2 additional countries for our perusing.
We started off in Stockholm Sweden and ended up staying in a posh neighborhood and spent a long weekend (~4 days ) walking around town and checking the sights.
Monday morning we hopped on a 6am train to spend the week in Copenhagen Denmark for my work conference. The timing was so that we were there for Tivoli Garden's halloween week! We were also lucky enough to tag along on a reservation to have lunch at Noma (YUM!!!) what is currently billed as the world's best restaurant.
Friday we hopped on an early plan to Berlin and spent the next 5 days trekking around Berlin Germany soaking in the culture, history and food. From currywurst to durum doners to yes even Korean food...we ate our way through the town. And pretzels...LOTS of pretzels...
So much to see and do and lots of time spent with my two favorite people. The full slideshow is below.
